Will, ENLARGE THEIR ESTABLISHMENT

WILL ENLARGE THEIR ESTABLISHMENT.
The GOLD LEAF is always pleased to
note the success of any enterprise in our
midst, and when it comes to such deserving
men as Messrs. Harris, Gooch & Co., the
popular proprietors of the brick ware
house, the pleasure merges into a sort of
feeling of pride. AS the old saying goes
nothing succeeds like success" and moth
ing wins it like merit.
Less than two years ago Messrs. Geo. b.
Harris, Samuel r. Harris and l.. r. Gooch
bought the brick warehouse built and at
that time occupied by Messrs. Burwell
Bros. & Co., and engaged in the warehouse
business. They were practical business
men, We're not strangers to the tobacco
business, and had ample means at their
command. Coupled with this they had push
and energy, an established reputation for
integrity and business foresight, and their
success as tobacco warehousemen was not
to be questioned. But it has outg~own even
the most sanguine expectations of the pro-
prietorS themselves. A member of the
firm told Us not long ago that their pat
ronage the first season was as large as they
had calculated on its being in three years
In fact, 50 rapidly has it grown from the
start that their present facilities are mad
equate to the demands of their large trade
They must enlarge their establishment in
order to accommodate their present bust
desS to say nothing of its increasing and so
have given out the contract for an addition
of 60X65 feet. Mr.. K. W. Coghill has tue
contract and work will be commenced at
once. 1t will be finished in time for the
new crop, and the fact that Mr.. CoghilI
will do the work is sufficient guarantee of
the excellent manner in which it will be
performed. The GOLD LEAF congratulates
Messrs. Harris, Gooch 4 Co. upon this evil
dence of the satisfactory growth of their
business, and wishes for them continued
success and prosperity.

Among Our Exchanges.

The Southern Tobacco Journal is now
comfortably settled down in its new quar-
tiers in Danville, and Mr. Hartman is max
ing even still better paper of it, if such
a thing was possible. In its new home and
enlarged field its usefulness will no doubt
be largely Increased, and the publisher
will be enabled to make it what it is de-
signed, true exponent and representative
of the Southern tobacco interests.
The death of Mr.. VIM. A. wilkins the
brilliant and accomplished editor of the
Whitehall, New York, Times, will cause
regret to thousands of people throughout
the country who have read his paper or
extracts from it. There were few more
apt newspaper men or brighter para
graphists than Mr.. wilkins, and his " Star
Proverbs and witty saYsings under the
head of Sanctum-Onious Levity" were
among the brightest gems that went the
rounds of the press. Besides lis newspa-
per work Mr.. wilkins was the author Of
several novels, and at the time of his death
was engaged i'll preparing new work for
the press. Deceased was held in high es-
TEEN by his brethren throughout the
country with whom he exchanged" as
we'll as his personal acquaintance and
friends in his State and elsewhere, as a
mark of which he was elected president of
the New York Press Association at its late
annual meeting only few weeks ago:

Everybody who comes to Henderson is
expected to lay brick in Cooper's new

some such enterprise here? With the
| abundance Of fruit and vegetables grown

had this season was sent us by Emmett
/ Hawkins, very respectable colored man,

! the GOLD LEAF. If Emmett enjoys read
! ing the paper as much as we did eating his
! watermelon he will never allow his name

! Wilmington wants the President and he
will be invited to visit that city. We would
be glad to have him visit as many of our
North Carolina towns, and see as much of
our people as possible. The GOLD LEAF
hopes Mr.. Cleveland will decide to pay
/ Wilmington visit; then of course he
would pay his respects to our town. Being
! so near he would not think of returning to
Washington and his duties without seeing
! Henderson.
! Mr.. NJ. 3. Prince, who may very proper
ly be called the printers friend, brought us
in the finest watermelon of the season this
week. 1t was fOrty-pounder, with the
inscription "Grown especially for the
GOLD LEAF, at Vine Cottage, Aug. /, 1897,
by w. B. p" carved on it. An inspec-
ton of the interior department revealed
the fact that appearances were not decep-
ton in this case at least. The meat was
| fine, sweet and juicy, and Of excellent
| flavor.
Dir. F. r. Harris, Superintendent of
| Health of Vance county, writes to the But-
leti1 of the North Carolina Board of
! Health for the month of July, as follows
Diarrhoea and dysentery have prevailed
! throughout the county. With these eXcep-
tons the health of the county has been
! better than usual for this season. There
/ have occurred a few cases of measles and
whoOping cough. Have no pOorhouSe.

We halt beside the rushing waters of
life long enough to grasp the opportunity
to say that there is more git-up-and-git to
| the square inch in Henderson than any
! other town of it's size in the South. If you
have any doubts about this take a walk
around town and observe the amount of
building now going on, then go into the
places of business of those live men who
advertise in the GOLD LEAF, and see the
bulk Of business they are doing and you
will be prepared to accept the truth of our
! statement.

A LOCAL MATTER.--Very many towns in
the South do not appreciate and support
their local papers as they should. The
Importance and value of newspapers to a
town and community have SO often been
pointed out that we need not dwell upon
that point. The fact to which we wish to
call attention here is that it is frequently
the case that a paper is not regarded in its
true light and mission until it is too late
when it has been forced to suspend publ
cation for want of sufficient patronage.
Then it is that its influence is recognized,
its power for good admitted. This leads
the Netos- Observer to say:
The failure and suspension of the Char
lOtte Observer leads us to repeat what we
said the other day. Our friends ought to
ask themselves what are they doing to sus-
tain their local paper? Do they give it all
the patronage they can with profit to them
selves? DO they manifest a purpose to
support it? Do they interest themselves
in the fortunes Of the paper? DO they feel
that they owe it a sort of duty to work for
it? If they appreciate its value to our city
at its full worth, they will interest them
selves in it and seek to aid in maintaining
it on firm basis. We would like to have
our friends talk about this matter and urge
1t as one OF prime importance to the city.
We would like to have every business man
feel that he was only doing his duty to the
town when he advertiSeS, and that those
who fail to contribute in that way to the
maintenance of a daily paper here, not only
show no enterprise, but lack genuine in
! tereSt in one of the most necessary inStitu-
lions of the community.

should be so that scholars in the coun-
try can get enough to prepare them
for intelligent citizens. while in our
villages and cities the work should lie
so in harmony with the graded work
Uf the country that scholars can, after
completing the work MAPPED out for the
country schools, come into our village
and city schools and move on The
village course of study should extend
into both the'inductIve and deductive
sciences, scientific languages and His
tory.
In the country SCHOOLS there can not
well he more than four grades. Tie
primer and first reader constituting the
ID grade; the second reader The q
grade; the Third reader the B grade;
aud the fourth Reader the a grade.
All grading should be by the readers.
In each grade there should not be more
tllan four studies. This gives sixteen
studies in all. No one teacher can do
justice to more than this number OF
classes.
Permit me to recapitulate the argu-
ments in favor of II graded system in
our schoUls,vZ: IL will ecopomlze la
bor Of instruction; ultimately reduce
the cost; make teaching more eflec-
tive; help i'll the control Of the schools !;
incite ambition of pupils; foster IN
sIructiOn in the higher branches of
learning. thereby removing the neces-
sity of parents sending their children
away fr0m home to obtain u good edu-
cation.
Fellow teachers, let us cooperate
with Supt. McGinty in this work of
grading ali our public scoools that the
school work of Delta Co. may rank
